The Nightwatchman: Union Town
Capo 4th fret (In the video it s on the 5th, but Tom keeps his guitar tuned down half a step)
Haven t sorted the solo out yet, maybe at some point I will though!
VERSE 1:
Good memories last forever Said the dog on the tombstone
If you re living underneath the bridge, man all roads lead to home
I got a hidden flask, I m paid in cash got a cross above my bed
You know I hitch-hiked from Chicago and a man walked up and said
CHORUS:
This is a union town, a union town all down the line
This is a union town, a union town all down the line
And if they ve come to strip our rights away we ll give them hell every time
This is a union town, a union town all down the line
VERSE 2:
Today the policeman a union man, brother firefighter s my friend
And the kids locked in the Capitol are fighting til the end
And we re not gonna break tonight and we re not gonna bend
Some say the union s down but I asked around and everybody said
CHORUS:
This is a union town, a union town all down the line
This is a union town, a union town all down the line
And if they ve come to strip our rights away we ll give them hell every time
This is a union town, a union town all down the line
SOLO (Verse chords and timing)
VERSE 3:
For every action, a reaction equal and opposite
And that s why my friend the blood tastes good every time I m hit
I got a will to win and a chesire grin yeah the nightwatch man is near
And you can t get it where you re at but you can sure get it here
So come rain or sleet or dark of night come wind or fridgid snow
There s a hundred thousand in the streets and that number s gonna grow
And when we put the governer on trial I ll be in the front row
Just take a look around, we re a union town 1, 2, 3, 4 let s go!
CHORUS:
This is a union town, a union town all down the line
This is a union town, a union town all down the line
And if they ve come to strip our rights away we ll give them hell every time
This is a union town, a union town all down the line
Allllll dooooown the line
